Menke & Janzen – other models: the collective page of livestock and low-loader trailers outside the named ranges, tridem trailers, gross weights 3,500 to 45,000 kg, lengths up to 16,100 mm

This collective page gathers the Menke & Janzen models the register could not assign to a named range. Two model names state the purpose directly: MENKE-JANZEN VIEHTRANSPORTER and VEETRANSPORTER, Dutch for livestock transporter, mark trailers for moving cattle; a further model carries the designation TRIDEM AANHANGER, Dutch for a three-axle trailer, and one model is named 4 ACHS TIEFLADE for a four-axle low-loader. The GFA2500 model and the RUHOLT name round out the collection with further, separately named variants.

The register lists here 11 versions with unladen weights from 1,470 to 16,720 kg, gross weights from 3,500 to 45,000 kg, lengths from 8,110 to 16,100 mm and widths from 2,480 to 2,550 mm.

The collection combines two uses from agriculture and heavy haulage: livestock trailers carry cattle and other farm animals between holdings, markets and abattoirs, while the tridem and four-axle low-loaders transport machinery and special loads; both body types share multi-axle chassis for high payload and, on the low-loaders, beds reaching up to 16.1 metres.

On a used livestock trailer, the condition of the vent slats, the floor covering and the partition gates and the seal against moisture count; on the low-loaders, the condition of ramps, frame and hydraulics; on all versions, axles, brakes and even tyre wear across the multiple axles should be checked, and on livestock trailers the floor should also be checked for odour and corrosion left by manure.

What to check before buying

  • Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
  • Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
  • Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
  • Compare the chassis number with the papers.
  • Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
